“Listen, that’s a magpie (喜鹊) singing,” said Xu Keyi, a wildlife photographer who can identify bird species by just hearing their calls.
Xu, 37, has fallen in love with photographing animals since childhood, dreaming of traveling the world with her camera. Before being fully devoted to wildlife photography, she worked in journalism after getting her master’s degree. In addition to her photography career, Xu is a well-known influencer in wildlife knowledge, using her photos to inspire greater care for the planet.
The turning point came during a trip to Antarctica, where Xu witnessed penguin (企鹅) parents fearlessly defending their chicks, which left a deep impression on her and deepened her love for going deep into nature. Xu then made the life-changing decision to leave her job and follow wildlife photography full-time. “Now I’ve traveled across all seven continents and four oceans, but what I love most is the wildlife within China’s 9.6 million square kilometers,” Xu said.
Last year in Yunnan province, Xu experienced a hard early morning climb and hours of rain and heat to photograph the rare green peafowl (孔雀). When the sun came out in the afternoon, a male peafowl’s call rang out across the valley, creating a breathtaking moment.
During a journey to film a rare butterfly species, Xu met an elderly wildlife protector who voiced his concerns about the lack of people devoted to protecting the species. “Shortly after I published my photos of the butterfly, he shared a picture of volunteers with me, saying that they hoped to join the protection efforts after seeing my images,” Xu said. “Wildlife photography seems to have transformed from being a pastime for the elderly. The participation of the growing number of youths inspires me with hope.” she said.
4. What do we know about Xu’s trip to Antarctica?
A. It was her first trip abroad. B. It was aimed at wildlife research.
C. It led to her career change. D. It inspired her interest in photography.
5. What happened to Xu during her work in Yunnan?
A. She met with tough conditions. B. She identified a new bird species.
C. She got a perfect shot accidentally. D. She received help from a local guide.
6. Which of the following best describes Xu Keyi?
A. Determined and devoted. B. Creative and thoughtful.
C. Humorous and generous. D. Competitive and curious.
7. Why was the elderly protector’s sharing of Xu’s picture mentioned?
A. To explain reasons for the popularity of photography.
B. To show Xu’s photos inspire people to protect nature.
C. To highlight the challenges of photographing wildlife.
D. To stress the lack of public awareness before Xu’s work.
C
Imagine you are preparing a class presentation when you suddenly remember you forgot to feed the cat. You grab your phone to text your mum, but an ad jumps out: “50 % off your favourite brand!” One tap leads to another; ten minutes later you have looked through reviews, filled a cart and almost missed your own slide. This phenomenon is called “popcorn (爆米花) brain”.
The term was introduced in 2011 by researcher David Levy from the University of Washington. It describes a mental state where attention wanders, and thoughts jump quickly from one topic to another — just like popcorn popping rapidly in a hot pan.
People with popcorn brain find it hard to concentrate or maintain a clear line of thinking. University of California Researcher Gloria Mark tracked 2,000 American office workers and students in her two-decade study on attention with silent screen recorders and heart-rate belts. In 2004 people stayed on one task for 2.5 minutes on average; by 2020 the figure had fallen to 47 seconds. Heart-rate data showed that every extra switch raised a stress hormone (荷尔蒙) by about 7 %.
Studies show that digital technology, especially social media, worsens this condition. Data Reportal’s 2024 report pooled screen-time records from 1.3 million users in 40 countries and found further proof. For instance, people in America aged 16–24 averaged 7 hours 3 minutes online per day, equaling roughly 17 years of adult life. Such constant digital exposure trains the brain to prefer short bursts of information. As a result, focusing on one task becomes harder. Information overload also affects memory, decision-making, and emotional control.
The cure, tested in follow-up trials, is brief: set clear tech boundaries. Recommended strategies include limiting daily screen time, turning off non-essential notification, and creating tech-free periods or spaces. Building a structured daily routine is also advised: individuals can begin by measuring their current focus duration, then set realistic goals and stick to a fixed schedule for important tasks. This consistent practice strengthens habits and prepares your mind and body to focus on the task for a longer period without getting popcorn brain.
8. How does the author present the issue in paragraph 1?
A. By defining a concept. B. By providing statistics.
C. By giving an example. D. By introducing a presentation
9. What can be inferred from the data in Gloria Mark’s study?
A. Attention on a task dropped half in decades.
B. Frequent switching may increase mental stress.
C. People’s average screen time decreased steadily.
D. Shortened screen time may lead to higher heart disease risk.
10. What does the underlined word “pooled” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Evaluated. B. Created C. Published. D. Collected.
11. According to the passage, how can we prevent getting “popcorn brain”?
A. Setting aside no-device areas. B. Changing daily schedules flexibly.
C. Using more advanced digital devices. D. Checking essential notification regularly.
D
In 1998, researchers Larry Page and Sergey Brin published a paper titled The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine. In the paper, they anticipated the rise of algorithms(算法). Later that same year, the two developed the search algorithm, PageRank, which revolutionized the early web by prioritizing pages according to the number and types of links on each page.
Today, PageRank is still around, but it has fallen victim to algorithms. The broader web landscape has abandoned its original promise: to enable us to be the best and most genuine version of ourselves. Instead, we’re trapped in a system that emphasizes sameness and discourages individuality, all at the hands of algorithms that have gone wild.
Algorithms make it impossible to go online without encountering content that claims it’s been “selected for you”. But they don’t recognize how complex and ever-changing human tastes can be. Because of their overly simplistic calculations, we are rarely shown anything new, different, or exciting. For example, Spotify listeners end up hearing the same songs and artists over and over.
The combination of the universality of algorithms and the addictiveness of the platforms threatens to flatten our individual tastes. The algorithms push us all toward the same ideas while making it harder for free-thinkers and subcultures to rise up. But innovation requires those who are willing and able to go against algorithmic trend cycles. Societal innovation and advancement at large will stagnate(停滞) in such environments.
We already see this happening. It’s why every single new movie is either a reboot, remake, requel, prequel, or sequel(续集). And it’s why the clothes younger generations consider trendy look similar to what we wore in our childhood.
Undoubtedly, algorithms are here to stay. But if we hope to avoid innovation stagnation, taste must be returned to its rightful owners. We all have a hand in making that happen.
12. How did Larry Page and Sergey Brin affect the web in 1998?
A. They broke its original promise. B. They boosted its development.
C. They prevented it from going wild. D. They shifted its focus to individuality.
13. What can be known about the algorithm-controlled content we get according to paragraph 3?
A. It can always amaze and excite us. B. It is based on complex calculations.
C. It features repetition and predictability. D. It matches our ever-changing tastes.
14. Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. To highlight the universality of algorithms.
B. To analyze the reason for algorithmic stagnation.
C. To explain the concept of algorithmic trend cycles.
D. To show how algorithms negatively impact innovation.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To remind us to make full use of algorithms.
B. To encourage innovation in algorithmic design.
C. To demonstrate the incredible power of algorithms.
D. To urge us to try to get out of the algorithmic trap.

At first glance, the idea of living a minimalist (极简主义的) lifestyle may sound difficult, restrictive, or even boring. I was a bit doubtful when I first decided to take on minimalist living. ____16____ Becoming a minimalist has given me more time and freedom for what I love and value.
It’s pretty common for beginners to think that minimalism starts with hard-to-manage habits and rules. ____17____ Minimalism starts with your mindset, the lens through which you are viewing your life, then moves outward from there to become actionable habits and steps.
Another big misunderstanding when it comes to living a minimalist life is that the main goal of becoming a minimalist is to get rid of as much stuff as possible. Wrong again! The main goal of minimalism is to get rid of the things that don’t contribute to the value of your daily life. ____18____
In order to make more space for the things you value, you first have to identify what those things are. Ask yourself what your life could use more of and what you could use less of in your day-to-day life. ____19____ If something is annoying you in your day-to-day life, you had better address these things and keep them from dragging you down further.
____20____ When you’re getting started, don’t focus too much on the end result or on the most difficult things to change. Start with the easiest things to change and work your way up from there. Making small amounts of progress can help improve your motivation and inspire you to keep going.
A. It’s nothing but an excuse.
B. This couldn’t be further from the truth!
C. Fixing what bothers you is also necessary.
D. This leaves more space for you to boost productivity.
E. But doing so has given me a life I genuinely love living.
F. So you can make space for what’s most important to you.
G. Just start simple and realize becoming a minimalist is a journey.

To my surprise, they all thought nothing of it. This was a(n) ____33____for me.
I came to realize that what had happened was not my fault, and not something I should feel ____34____ of. I am learning that being bald doesn’t change who I am, and if I don’t let it affect my self ____35____, then other people are much more likely to accept me as I am, too.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Isla and I were studying in the same school. We had been friends since we were six years old. I took Isla as a smart, funny friend, but not all students at our school did, especially the girl students. Girls in our school wore fashionable branded clothes, but Isla sewed hers and her curly hair and thick glasses made her look like a fish, which made her stand out like a sore thumb(招眼).
For me, sometimes I felt embarrassed to be around Isla, particularly when students said rude words about her hair, clothes, glasses—even about the fact that she got really good grades. Isla always seemed to be able to ignore what other students thought, but I couldn’t. I began to distance myself from her.
Our school had a tradition—there was a talent show every spring. Students would sing, dance, play musical instruments, and do whatever they could to show their talents. Being our graduation season in this senior school, this year’s talent show would be obviously different. It would be a huge night.
Ava, who was an outgoing girl, invited me to be on her dance team. “We win the talent show every year, and we expect a satisfactory graduation this year,” Ava said to me excitedly. “We need a new dancer. But only you, not her!” Ava pointed to someone behind me.
I didn’t need to turn around to see who she meant. “Oh, I see,” I said quietly. Ava had hardly headed out when someone tapped on my shoulder. It was Isla. When I saw her confused face, it was like waking up from a dream. Isla asked me eagerly, “Emily, are you going to take part in the talent show?” I hesitated without response. “That’s great, Emily!” Isla told me without waiting for my answer that she was also going to participate this year. I couldn’t believe what I had heard. I started to worry about her when I imagined that she was in front of a huge crowd, and that everybody would laugh at her.
Time passed quickly, and I had barely seen Isla since then. For me, I had to practice hard every day with Ava and the team to keep up since the other dancers had already known the steps.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Ultimately, it was my turn to perform, and I felt extremely nervous.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I stepped off the stage and expressed my thanks to Isla, who was ready to sing.

“Listen, that’s a magpie (喜鹊) singing,” said Xu Keyi, a wildlife photographer who can identify bird species by just hearing their calls.
Xu, 37, has fallen in love with photographing animals since childhood, dreaming of traveling the world with her camera. Before being fully devoted to wildlife photography, she worked in journalism after getting her master’s degree. In addition to her photography career, Xu is a well-known influencer in wildlife knowledge, using her photos to inspire greater care for the planet.
The turning point came during a trip to Antarctica, where Xu witnessed penguin (企鹅) parents fearlessly defending their chicks, which left a deep impression on her and deepened her love for going deep into nature. Xu then made the life-changing decision to leave her job and follow wildlife photography full-time. “Now I’ve traveled across all seven continents and four oceans, but what I love most is the wildlife within China’s 9.6 million square kilometers,” Xu said.
Last year in Yunnan province, Xu experienced a hard early morning climb and hours of rain and heat to photograph the rare green peafowl (孔雀). When the sun came out in the afternoon, a male peafowl’s call rang out across the valley, creating a breathtaking moment.
During a journey to film a rare butterfly species, Xu met an elderly wildlife protector who voiced his concerns about the lack of people devoted to protecting the species. “Shortly after I published my photos of the butterfly, he shared a picture of volunteers with me, saying that they hoped to join the protection efforts after seeing my images,” Xu said. “Wildlife photography seems to have transformed from being a pastime for the elderly. The participation of the growing number of youths inspires me with hope.” she said.
4. What do we know about Xu’s trip to Antarctica?
A. It was her first trip abroad. B. It was aimed at wildlife research.
C. It led to her career change. D. It inspired her interest in photography.
5. What happened to Xu during her work in Yunnan?
A. She met with tough conditions. B. She identified a new bird species.
C. She got a perfect shot accidentally. D. She received help from a local guide.
6. Which of the following best describes Xu Keyi?
A. Determined and devoted. B. Creative and thoughtful.
C. Humorous and generous. D. Competitive and curious.
7. Why was the elderly protector’s sharing of Xu’s picture mentioned?
A. To explain reasons for the popularity of photography.
B. To show Xu’s photos inspire people to protect nature.
C. To highlight the challenges of photographing wildlife.
D. To stress the lack of public awareness before Xu’s work.

Imagine you are preparing a class presentation when you suddenly remember you forgot to feed the cat. You grab your phone to text your mum, but an ad jumps out: “50 % off your favourite brand!” One tap leads to another; ten minutes later you have looked through reviews, filled a cart and almost missed your own slide. This phenomenon is called “popcorn (爆米花) brain”.
The term was introduced in 2011 by researcher David Levy from the University of Washington. It describes a mental state where attention wanders, and thoughts jump quickly from one topic to another — just like popcorn popping rapidly in a hot pan.
People with popcorn brain find it hard to concentrate or maintain a clear line of thinking. University of California Researcher Gloria Mark tracked 2,000 American office workers and students in her two-decade study on attention with silent screen recorders and heart-rate belts. In 2004 people stayed on one task for 2.5 minutes on average; by 2020 the figure had fallen to 47 seconds. Heart-rate data showed that every extra switch raised a stress hormone (荷尔蒙) by about 7 %.
Studies show that digital technology, especially social media, worsens this condition. Data Reportal’s 2024 report pooled screen-time records from 1.3 million users in 40 countries and found further proof. For instance, people in America aged 16–24 averaged 7 hours 3 minutes online per day, equaling roughly 17 years of adult life. Such constant digital exposure trains the brain to prefer short bursts of information. As a result, focusing on one task becomes harder. Information overload also affects memory, decision-making, and emotional control.
The cure, tested in follow-up trials, is brief: set clear tech boundaries. Recommended strategies include limiting daily screen time, turning off non-essential notification, and creating tech-free periods or spaces. Building a structured daily routine is also advised: individuals can begin by measuring their current focus duration, then set realistic goals and stick to a fixed schedule for important tasks. This consistent practice strengthens habits and prepares your mind and body to focus on the task for a longer period without getting popcorn brain.
8. How does the author present the issue in paragraph 1?
A. By defining a concept. B. By providing statistics.
C. By giving an example. D. By introducing a presentation
9. What can be inferred from the data in Gloria Mark’s study?
A. Attention on a task dropped half in decades.
B. Frequent switching may increase mental stress.
C. People’s average screen time decreased steadily.
D. Shortened screen time may lead to higher heart disease risk.
10. What does the underlined word “pooled” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Evaluated. B. Created C. Published. D. Collected.
11. According to the passage, how can we prevent getting “popcorn brain”?
A. Setting aside no-device areas. B. Changing daily schedules flexibly.
C. Using more advanced digital devices. D. Checking essential notification regularly.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍“爆米花大脑”这一现象的定义、成因、危害以及对应的改善方法。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Imagine you are preparing a class presentation when you suddenly remember you forgot to feed the cat. You grab your phone to text your mum, but an ad jumps out: “50 % off your favourite brand!” One tap leads to another; ten minutes later you have looked through reviews, filled a cart and almost missed your own slide. This phenomenon is called “popcorn (爆米花) brain”.(想象一下,你正在准备课堂展示,突然想起自己忘了喂猫。你拿起手机想给妈妈发消息,一条广告却弹了出来:“你最爱的品牌,五折优惠!” 你点进去之后就一发不可收拾,十分钟后,你已经看完了各种评论、装满了购物车,差点错过自己的展示环节。这种现象被称为 “爆米花大脑”。)”可知,作者通过设想一个具体的生活场景举例,引出“爆米花大脑”这一话题。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“University of California Researcher Gloria Mark tracked 2,000 American office workers and students in her two-decade study on attention with silent screen recorders and heart-rate belts. In 2004 people stayed on one task for 2.5 minutes on average; by 2020 the figure had fallen to 47 seconds. Heart-rate data showed that every extra switch raised a stress hormone (荷尔蒙) by about 7 %. (加州大学研究员格洛丽亚・马克,借助静音屏幕记录仪和心率监测带,对 2000 名美国上班族与学生开展了一项为期 20 年的注意力相关研究。2004 年,人们专注于单一任务的平均时长为 2.5 分钟;到 2020 年,这一数字降至 47 秒。心率数据显示,每多切换一次任务,压力荷尔蒙的水平就会上升约 7%。)”可知,频繁切换任务可能会增加精神压力。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Data Reportal’s 2024 report pooled screen-time records from 1.3 million users in 40 countries and found further proof. (Data Reportal 2024年的报告____了来自40个国家130万用户的屏幕使用时长记录,并找到了进一步的证据。)”可知,报告要获取证据,需要先收集大量用户的相关数据。因此“pooled”的意思应为“收集”。故选D项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The cure, tested in follow-up trials, is brief: set clear tech boundaries. Recommended strategies include limiting daily screen time, turning off non-essential notification, and creating tech-free periods or spaces. (后续试验验证的解决办法很简单:设定明确的科技使用界限。推荐的策略包括限制每日屏幕使用时长、关闭非必要通知,以及设置无科技产品的时段或区域。)”可知,设置无设备区域可以预防“爆米花大脑”。故选A项。
D
In 1998, researchers Larry Page and Sergey Brin published a paper titled The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine. In the paper, they anticipated the rise of algorithms(算法). Later that same year, the two developed the search algorithm, PageRank, which revolutionized the early web by prioritizing pages according to the number and types of links on each page.
Today, PageRank is still around, but it has fallen victim to algorithms. The broader web landscape has abandoned its original promise: to enable us to be the best and most genuine version of ourselves. Instead, we’re trapped in a system that emphasizes sameness and discourages individuality, all at the hands of algorithms that have gone wild.
Algorithms make it impossible to go online without encountering content that claims it’s been “selected for you”. But they don’t recognize how complex and ever-changing human tastes can be. Because of their overly simplistic calculations, we are rarely shown anything new, different, or exciting. For example, Spotify listeners end up hearing the same songs and artists over and over.
The combination of the universality of algorithms and the addictiveness of the platforms threatens to flatten our individual tastes. The algorithms push us all toward the same ideas while making it harder for free-thinkers and subcultures to rise up. But innovation requires those who are willing and able to go against algorithmic trend cycles. Societal innovation and advancement at large will stagnate(停滞) in such environments.
We already see this happening. It’s why every single new movie is either a reboot, remake, requel, prequel, or sequel(续集). And it’s why the clothes younger generations consider trendy look similar to what we wore in our childhood.
Undoubtedly, algorithms are here to stay. But if we hope to avoid innovation stagnation, taste must be returned to its rightful owners. We all have a hand in making that happen.
12. How did Larry Page and Sergey Brin affect the web in 1998?
A. They broke its original promise. B. They boosted its development.
C. They prevented it from going wild. D. They shifted its focus to individuality.
13. What can be known about the algorithm-controlled content we get according to paragraph 3?
A. It can always amaze and excite us. B. It is based on complex calculations.
C. It features repetition and predictability. D. It matches our ever-changing tastes.
14. Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. To highlight the universality of algorithms.
B. To analyze the reason for algorithmic stagnation.
C. To explain the concept of algorithmic trend cycles.
D. To show how algorithms negatively impact innovation.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To remind us to make full use of algorithms.
B. To encourage innovation in algorithmic design.
C. To demonstrate the incredible power of algorithms.
D. To urge us to try to get out of the algorithmic trap.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章以1998年拉里·佩奇和谢尔盖·布林开发的PageRank算法为切入点,阐述算法如今虽普遍存在,但因其过度简化计算,导致内容重复、缺乏新意,威胁到个人品味与社会创新,作者呼吁人们摆脱算法陷阱。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Later that same year, the two developed the search algorithm, PageRank, which revolutionized the early web by prioritizing pages according to the number and types of links on each page.(同年晚些时候,两人开发了搜索算法PageRank,该算法根据每个页面上链接的数量和类型对页面进行优先级排序,彻底改变了早期的网络)”可知,拉里·佩奇和谢尔盖·布林开发的算法彻底改变了早期网络,推动了网络的发展。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Algorithms make it impossible to go online without encountering content that claims it’s been “selected for you”. But they don’t recognize how complex and ever-changing human tastes can be. Because of their overly simplistic calculations, we are rarely shown anything new, different, or exciting. For example, Spotify listeners end up hearing the same songs and artists over and over.(算法使得我们上网时不可避免地会遇到声称是“为你精选”的内容。但它们没有意识到人类的品味是多么复杂和多变。由于它们的计算过于简单,我们很少看到新的、不同的或令人兴奋的东西。例如,Spotify的听众最终会反复听到相同的歌曲和歌手)”可知,算法控制的内容具有重复性和可预测性,因为其计算简单,不能匹配人类多变的品味,很少提供新内容。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The algorithms push us all toward the same ideas while making it harder for free-thinkers and subcultures to rise up. But innovation requires those who are willing and able to go against algorithmic trend cycles. Societal innovation and advancement at large will stagnate(停滞) in such environments.(算法将我们推向相同的想法,同时使自由思想者和亚文化更难兴起。但创新需要那些愿意并能够逆算法趋势周期而行的人。在这样的环境中,社会创新和进步总体上将会停滞)”以及第五段“We already see this happening. It’s why every single new movie is either a reboot, remake, requel, prequel, or sequel(续集). And it’s why the clothes younger generations consider trendy look similar to what we wore in our childhood.(我们已经看到这种情况正在发生。这就是为什么每一部新电影要么是重启版、翻拍版、续作、前传,要么是续集。这也是为什么年轻一代认为时尚的衣服看起来和我们小时候穿的很相似)”可知,第五段的例子是为了说明算法对创新产生了负面影响,导致创新停滞。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。文章开篇介绍算法起源,接着阐述如今算法带来的问题,如内容重复、抑制创新等,最后一段呼吁“Undoubtedly, algorithms are here to stay. But if we hope to avoid innovation stagnation, taste must be returned to its rightful owners. We all have a hand in making that happen.(毫无疑问,算法会一直存在。但如果我们希望避免创新停滞,就必须将品味交还给其真正的主人(即用户自己 )。我们每个人都可以为此出一份力)”可知,短文的目的是摆脱算法陷阱,避免创新停滞。故选D项。

It’s pretty common for beginners to think that minimalism starts with hard-to-manage habits and rules. ____17____ Minimalism starts with your mindset, the lens through which you are viewing your life, then moves outward from there to become actionable habits and steps.
Another big misunderstanding when it comes to living a minimalist life is that the main goal of becoming a minimalist is to get rid of as much stuff as possible. Wrong again! The main goal of minimalism is to get rid of the things that don’t contribute to the value of your daily life. ____18____
In order to make more space for the things you value, you first have to identify what those things are. Ask yourself what your life could use more of and what you could use less of in your day-to-day life. ____19____ If something is annoying you in your day-to-day life, you had better address these things and keep them from dragging you down further.
____20____ When you’re getting started, don’t focus too much on the end result or on the most difficult things to change. Start with the easiest things to change and work your way up from there. Making small amounts of progress can help improve your motivation and inspire you to keep going.
A. It’s nothing but an excuse.
B. This couldn’t be further from the truth!
C. Fixing what bothers you is also necessary.
D. This leaves more space for you to boost productivity.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了河南安阳的殷墟博物馆及其所展示的3000年历史的商代文明,以及近年来在殷墟遗址及其周边地区取得的重要考古发现。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:其中四分之三以上从未公开展出过。空白处在句子中作状语,修饰后面的动词,使用副词,故填publicly。
【37题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:从殷墟出土的23辆车辆是新展馆的亮点。空白处在句子中做表语使用名词,根据上文“23 vehicles(23辆车辆)”可推理出空白处应填名词的复数,故填highlights。
【38题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:展出的还有从当今中国其他地区收集的商代文物。空白处在句子中作谓语,因句子表示的是一个客观情况,谓语动词使用一般现在时,此处是倒装结构,主语是Shang relics,谓语动词用复数形式。故填are。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:殷墟,2006年被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产,是商朝后期都城所在地。空白处在句子中作定语,因与其逻辑主语The Yinxu Ruins之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,使用过去分词,故填listed。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该遗址还发现了3300年前的丰富遗骨,揭示了已知最古老的汉字书写系统,这是非常了不起的,也是中华民族发展史上的重要一环。空白处在句子中作状语,因空白处及下文表示的是一个自然而然的结果,使用现在分词,故填revealing。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:同上。本句为包含定语从句的复合句,先行词为:writing system of Chinese characters,因先行词在定语从句中做主语指物,使用关系代词which引导定语从句,故填which。
【42题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:近年来,殷墟及其周边地区取得了许多重大突破。空白处在句子中作谓语,因与主语之间为被动关系,使用被动语态,根据时间状语in recent years可知句子表示的是一个过去发生的动作对现在的影响,谓语动词使用现在完成时的被动语态,故填have been made。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:例如,发现了城市道路系统和王宫区人工湖的遗迹。因空白处后面有名词,根据冠词的用法,名词前需使用不定冠词表示“一个”含义,因空白处后面词urban的第一个发音字母为元音,故填an。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意:这些发现进一步展现了一幅都城宏伟图景,推进了追踪中华文明起源的项目。根据上文“displayed a grand picture of a capital city(展现了一幅都城宏伟图景)”以及下文“carried forward the project of tracking the origins of the Chinese civilization(推进了追踪中华文明起源的项目)”可知,上下文之间为并列关系,使用表示并列关系的连词,故填and。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:通过展览,公众可以全面了解商朝在政治、经济、农业、军事等方面取得的成就。in terms of为固定短语,含义为“就……而言”,符合句意,故填of。

Boys and girls,
I’m honored to give the speech.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thank you!
【答案】Boys and girls,
I’m honored to give the speech. With the development of society and economy, the number of private cars is increasing at a surprising speed. As we all know, cars give off carbon dioxide, causing global warming, frequent natural disasters, diseases and so on. In order to protect our environment, it is high time that we should go green.
Firstly, we should raise people’s awareness of the importance of going green. Secondly, using public transportation or riding bicycles instead of using private cars can make a great difference to the problem. What’s more, we should take full advantage of water, electricity, paper, food and so on. Last but not least, it is a good idea to classify our rubbish and recycle it in our daily life.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Isla and I were studying in the same school. We had been friends since we were six years old. I took Isla as a smart, funny friend, but not all students at our school did, especially the girl students. Girls in our school wore fashionable branded clothes, but Isla sewed hers and her curly hair and thick glasses made her look like a fish, which made her stand out like a sore thumb(招眼).
For me, sometimes I felt embarrassed to be around Isla, particularly when students said rude words about her hair, clothes, glasses—even about the fact that she got really good grades. Isla always seemed to be able to ignore what other students thought, but I couldn’t. I began to distance myself from her.
Our school had a tradition—there was a talent show every spring. Students would sing, dance, play musical instruments, and do whatever they could to show their talents. Being our graduation season in this senior school, this year’s talent show would be obviously different. It would be a huge night.
Ava, who was an outgoing girl, invited me to be on her dance team. “We win the talent show every year, and we expect a satisfactory graduation this year,” Ava said to me excitedly. “We need a new dancer. But only you, not her!” Ava pointed to someone behind me.
I didn’t need to turn around to see who she meant. “Oh, I see,” I said quietly. Ava had hardly headed out when someone tapped on my shoulder. It was Isla. When I saw her confused face, it was like waking up from a dream. Isla asked me eagerly, “Emily, are you going to take part in the talent show?” I hesitated without response. “That’s great, Emily!” Isla told me without waiting for my answer that she was also going to participate this year. I couldn’t believe what I had heard. I started to worry about her when I imagined that she was in front of a huge crowd, and that everybody would laugh at her.
Time passed quickly, and I had barely seen Isla since then. For me, I had to practice hard every day with Ava and the team to keep up since the other dancers had already known the steps.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Ultimately, it was my turn to perform, and I felt extremely nervous.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I stepped off the stage and expressed my thanks to Isla, who was ready to sing.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Ultimately, it was my turn to perform, and I felt extremely nervous. I didn’t want to be regarded as different from the others. Isla walked to me and hugged me tightly. “Come on, Emily!” Isla encouraged me. “I believe you will do great because you are a wonderful dancer. Don’t care too much about what others think. Just trust yourself.” Soon, I took my place on the stage. I remembered every step and every move. When the music was over, the crowd burst into cheers. At that moment, I felt like a dancing queen!
I stepped off the stage and expressed my thanks to Isla, who was ready to sing. I was a little worried at the beginning because the crowd became restless. Luckily, Isla ignored it. I stood up, shouting, “Isla, you are the best!” Her homemade dress was shining in the light, but her eyes were clouded with tears. When Isla’s singing died down, all the students were still lost in her unique voice. Some even began singing like her, and then more. Their singing resounded around the hall. I rushed to the stage after her performance, hugging her cheerfully. That was enough! We could never be distanced.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,以人物为线索。作者和Isla是好朋友,但Isla的着装打扮与学校时尚的女孩格格不入,她们总是对她评头论足。Isla对别人的看法毫不在意,但作者觉得很尴尬,慢慢疏远了Isla。作者被Ava邀请一起参加才艺表演,Isla也打算参加。在表演当天,作者非常紧张,Isla鼓励了作者,这让作者顺利完成了精彩的表演,而Isla在舞台上穿着自制的服装演唱着动听的歌曲,获得了大家的认可。这件事让俩人重新变得亲密起来。
【详解】1. 续写线索:
①由续写第一段首句“最终,轮到我表演了,我感到非常紧张。”可知,第一段可以描写Isla的鼓励让作者成功完成了表演。
②由续写第二段首句“我走下舞台,向准备唱歌的Isla表示感谢。”可知,第二段可以描写在Isla上台表演之前,作者向她表示了感谢,并为她加油,Isla用自己优美的歌声震撼了大家,二人关系重新变得亲密起来。
2. 段落续写:紧张——受到Isla的鼓励——成功完成表演——向Isla感谢——为Isla加油——Isla用优美的歌声征服了大家——二人重归于好
3. 词汇激活:
行为类
①被认为:be regarded as/be thought of as/be seen as
②鼓励:encourage/inspire
③在意:care about/take notice of/mind
④逐渐变淡:die down/fade away
情绪类
①担心的:worried/concerned
②高兴地:cheerfully /merrily
③紧张的:nervous/jittery
【点睛】【高分句型1】Don’t care too much about what others think.(使用了祈使句、what引导宾语从句)
【高分句型2】I rushed to the stage after her performance, hugging her cheerfully.(使用了现在分词作状语)
